The delay in filing the petition is condoned. However, since the tax effect in the case is less than Rs. 1 crore, as per a recent Circular issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the Special Leave Petition should not have been filed. Therefore, the petition is dismissed on this ground alone. The question of law remains open for future consideration. Any pending applications related to the case are also disposed of.
